Note: While EHM 07 and EHM:EA are still in their stages of updating rosters and what not, I have decided to go with the default database has not been edited in any way, except for division changes, and some teams have been moved to make up for the teams that are around the league today. I have decided to move Belleville Bulls to Hamilton to be the Hamilton Bulldogs of the OHL

Why the Bulldogs you ask? I was born and raised in Hamilton, so i decided to take on my hometown club.

We have autosimmed the 06/07 season as I will take over as the Bulldogs GM soon as the 06/07 season ends.

The Belleville Bulls finished out of the playoffs finishing 9th in the Western Conference with 59 pts, as London Knights finished 8th with 67 pts, only Windsor finished lower then Belleville with 44 pts.With the move from Belleville to Hamilton, Owner Michael Andlauer has decided to let George Burnett go as GM as he has gone on to hire rookie GM Rick Stevens. Stevens first job as GM of the Bulldogs was to clean house and fire Head Coach Al Conroy and assistant Coach Brandon Roberts. Stevens will also be looking out to replace the current scouting staff as we prepare for the upcoming OHL Priority, and CHL Import Drafts.

Also, several players on the reserve list that were either overage, or playing college hockey and not likely coming back have had their rights released to make room for the players taken in the upcoming drafts.

The Conference Quarter-Finals are about to begin, with the following match-ups:

Eastern Conference

Guelph Storm vs. Owen Sound Attack

Peterborough Petes vs. Oshawa Generals

North Bay Battalions vs. Kingston Frontenacs

Mississauga Steelheads vs. Sudbury Wolves

Western Conference

London Knights vs. Saginaw Spirit

Erie Otters vs. Kitchener Rangers

Flint Firebirds vs. Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds

Niagara IceDogs vs. Sarnia Sting

Our Development club will be Hamilton Red Wings out of the OPJHL

OHL Player of the Week: Owen Sound's Bobby Sanguinetti 3gp 1g 6a 7pts

March 21st

We continue to change our staff as we have hired John Ogrodnick who is from Ottawa, Ontario as a scout. We have also added Christoph Fischer from Germany as a scout and David Reichel from Austria as another scout.

Later in the day we have added the following staff members:

Danny Cole (American) as a scout, Otto Kalb (Austrian) as a scout, Juha-Matti Malmivaara (Finnish) as our Head Coach, Joachim Andreasen (Danish) as an assistant coach

March 22nd

We have added a few more staff members in Rene Edmund (Danish) as an assistant coach, and we have also added Emil Ronnqvist who is from Swedish as one of our trainers, Richard Duncan (American) as a scout, Jorge Stengl (American) as a scout, Anton Hjelm (Swedish) as our Assistant GM.

Going through trades made by the former GM, he made four deals all including our draft picks for the upcoming season, sending our 11th to London for Corey Syvret, our 6th in 07 heading to Sarnia for Justin DiBenedetto, our 12th in 07 to Barrie for Vladimir Nikiforov and our 5th to Kingston for Kris Sparre
